Indeed! One time the fuel gauge went down to 1 bar and as I was approaching the gas station, it went back up to 3 bars. You would think by the late 90s, fuel gauges became more accurate.

-cupholder issue solved by getting a modifry cupholder and mounting it on the right side of the center console, in front of the passenger seat
-glove box issue solved by modifry glove box organizer
-car is very quiet, but at 60 you're not driving a prius
-blind spots are only bad for drivers' side, but just lean forward and look in mirror, problem solved. You can see clearly out passenger window and rear glass...

what does bother me is having to unlock the passenger lock from the inside and my car being out of commission right now...

i agree. a lot of people on the road piss me off and the car is like therapy to me, im in my own little world. im 6'4 and I knew exactly what I was getting into before buying the s2k. as you can see below I used to have a bunch of little sports cars but I did a lot of research before buying the s2k so everything it does and how the inside feels, looks, sounds, and functions is expected. it can never do anything to piss me off. we're all very lucky to have. ^_^

Really,... Not a thing. It's all trade off.'s. Yes, it's a little hard to get in and out of these days (I'm 56) but it's SOOOO nice once your in, it's worth the effort.

Hate how you have to reach over and unlock the door when picking someone up and letting them in...u can unlock both doors from the outside but not from the inside...and sun visors are pretty small and won't fold out to block the sun from the side... Have to put extra sunscreen on the left side of my face..
Those are the only two complaints I have. The sun visors are pretty much useless. Can't swing them to the side. Flip them down and they completely obliterate my view. Can't flip them up above the windshield to block sun coming over the top. My 1973 Mustang convertible had visors that would flip up above the windshield.
Yea I took mine off. Those bright @** warning labels always annoyed me.

I'm glad that the steering wheel is in exactly the right position for me. I didn't even notice it wasn't adjustable (because I had no need to adjust it) until I started reading complaints about it's lack of adjustability.
i'm glad it's in the right spot for you as well.
I'm glad you're glad that I'm glad.

I am also glad that my steering wheel is perfectly positioned.
[/quote]Im also glad. Anyone else is glad that we're glad?

I agree with the theft or damage quote, everytime I go into the store I'm always in a rush to get back to my S, the cup holder can get annoying, and the trunk space is not that great with a custom box and system in there, but I really dont like the way the plastic pieces that the convertable top fold down into rattle with the roof up and the system on.
